Kyoto’s famous cherry blossom viewing place Philosophy Road (Philosophy No.) is very famous. It is often seen in the recommended cherry blossom viewing itinerary. We finally saw the magnificence and beauty of the sky full of red cherry blossoms. The Yoshino cherry blossoms were in full bloom along the way. Taking a break here, we are constantly admiring the impression of cherry blossom viewing in Japan, and we are very lucky to be able to meet the sunny day and full bloom, constantly picking up the camera to take pictures, and even visiting this place three times!
How to get to the Philosophy Way from Kyoto Station?
To arrange the itinerary for viewing cherry blossoms, we will purchase a Kyoto bus one-day ticket, take bus 100 from Kyoto Station, and get off at "Ginkakuji Road Station". There is no problem for novices, but in recent years, we will visit Kyoto There are more and more tourists in Sakura. If you want to take pictures of unmanned scenery like the first picture in the article, you must get up very early. Take us as an example. We departed from Kyoto Station at about 8 o'clock. At that time, there was a small queue of people arriving. Philosophy is not too crowded at the time, I would suggest you to start at about 6 to 7 o'clock, it will be very beautiful when you encounter such a clear sky.
Where did "The Way of Philosophy" come from?
The origin of the name of the philosophy of philosophy is derived from the philosophy professor "Kitaro Nishida" at Kyoto University. He travels between his home and school every day, and he spends most of his time meditating and thinking, hence the name.This professor became the representative of the modernization of Eastern traditional thinking. The "Kyoto School Philosophy" was established under his head. If Nishida's later Japanese philosophy was not deeply influenced by Nishida, it was based on philosophy. His appearance pushed Japanese philosophy into the world. The stage of philosophy. (Text source: Nishida Kitaro's Philosophy Collection)
The way of philosophy, Hili Yoshino cherry blossoms stretch
The Path of Philosophy is located on the two-kilometer trail connecting the Ginkakuji Temple and the Prince Shrine. Many Yoshino cherry blossoms are planted along the way. When the spring is in full bloom, it always attracts many travelers to watch.It was still drizzling in Kyoto the night before, and the cherry blossoms in Arashiyama were gone. Fortunately, our group was very mobile. When the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, we ran there. In addition, there were generous, small V, and Meiko intelligence crews. I checked the information and weather forecast of the cherry blossom front line every day, and learned that in addition to the good weather today, all the cherry blossoms of the philosophy of philosophy are also in full bloom, so I immediately arranged this trip.
Also, due to the good air and weather conditions in Kyoto, such a blue scene can be photographed, so I would advise everyone to wake up early, the light in the morning and the blue sky are good, no matter how you shoot, although many tourists come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms during the period. , But the crowds were not so crowded early in the morning. In addition, the trails are long and stretched, so they won't be jammed in the same place. The cherry blossoms are easy to shoot at low-hanging places. If you take a slight angle, you can take beautiful photos of people with scenery.
※ Tips for photography: I use A Mode when I shoot, and the aperture is adjusted to F8~F10, ISO100, -0.7EV (I used to shoot darker to make the sky darker, and then use LR to modify the dark part). The above information is for reference.
Conclusion
Since Philosophy has become a well-known cherry blossom viewing spot, it is better to come in the morning on weekdays to avoid the crowds on the ground. If you want to take pictures of unmanned scenery, it is best to rush over early in the morning!After shooting, you can go west and go to Demachiyanagi Station via Chionji Temple. The former and Shimogamo area is also a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms, especially riding bicycles all the way is great; or go south to Heian Shrine, Okazaki Canal, and Kejo Railway You can also wait, and arrange attractions and itineraries flexibly, and sprint wherever it is full.
